The 2026 Rossignol Signature Palmares skis with NX 12 Konect GW bindings are carving-oriented frontside skis that blend classic, race-inspired performance with modern shaping for powerful edge control and a smooth ride across groomed snow. These skis are part of Rossignol’s Signature Series and pair dynamic ski performance with reliable binding integration.

Why we like it:

We like these skis because they balance serious carving prowess with approachable energy, giving you stability at speed and confidence in turns without feeling overly demanding.

Who it's for:

This ski is ideal for intermediate to advanced skiers who want a dedicated, trail-focused carving machine that feels precise from the first turn to the last. It suits aggressive cruisers and technically capable skiers who enjoy making clean turns at moderate to high speeds.

Highlights:

Rossi utilizes a poplar wood core with full sidewall construction to provide a lively yet damp feel that rewards good edge control and precision. The oversized sidecut accelerates edge engagement and supports strong, mid-turn power delivery. A subtle tip rocker eases turn initiation while the traditional camber underfoot maintains grip and rebound for confident carving. The NX 12 Konect binding adds a responsive platform that enhances power transfer across a wide range of skiing conditions.

Things to consider:

These skis are powerful on groomed snow and prefer firm, packed conditions. If you spend most of your time in softer snow or off-trail, these are not a good choice as their carving bias means they don't float well in deep snow compared to all-mountain designs.

Fit & sizing considerations:

These ski a little on the long side, so less aggressive skiers will want to size down for easier turn initiation and maneuverability. Those prioritizing stability at speed can stick with their usual frontside length.
